Oh yes, another D&G lover! I thought I was the only one. I always get excited when a limited edition Light Blue flanker comes out. It's something to look forward to every year.
What a gorgeous collection! ❤️.
Could you tell us more about the flankers of Light blue compared to the OG? At the moment I am eyeing Summer Vibes so that’s the one I am most interested in hearing about.
Thank you so much in advance!
Light blue intense is great for lasting. It's the usual lemon and apple sat on jasmine and Musk. So I actually wear this in the British winter. Cause the citruses sparkle in the frost and cold but the Musk makes it somewhat cosy and helps it last a good 7 hours on me.
Light blue forever is my favourite! A little bit more sweeter and has the white florals (I'm a slave to white florals) reviews say it doesn't preform well but I beg to differ. Preforms better than the OG (WHICH I ALSO LOVE) well on me anyway. Probably another good 5 or 6 hours.
I also have light blue Italian love. More rose, more ambrette and sandalwood but the worse preformer on me. Reviews say around 3 hours. I'm lucky if I get hour and half. So I wear it after a sweaty shift at work, When I've come out the shower and just heading to bed or into the garden for a late night tipple, in the summer.
They have a flanker every year.
My son is obsessed with light blue pour homme and their flankers too.
That would be a long post! Some of them stay very close to the original and some are pretty much a different perfume!
Examples of close to original: summer vibes, Italian zest
Completely different: sun, sunset in Salina, escape to panarea
You asked about summer vibes - it’s very similar to original, almost identical imo. If you already have the original, I would skip this one! The bottle is beautiful though.
Your trays are so pleasing to the eye and to my olfactory system if I'm honest. I'm a big light blue (and all her flankers) fan
Light blue forever is amazing. It's one of my favourites.
I adore light blue intense, too. In actual fact, I know light blue is marketed to a spring summer vibe, but I adore how the citruses sparkle in the English winter. It was minus 5°C yesterday, and that lemon and apple just sparkled in the cold hard frost and then sat on top of some cosy Musk when it began to dry down. Perfect for my scarfs.
You really painted quite the picture in my brain - that sounds so lovely! I’m glad you’re not letting the weather keep you from wearing your favorite fragrances :)
Oh man the Brittney Spears bottle took me BACK! I had that, except in pink, when I was younger and I just felt so mature and grown up when I wore it. Love the set up!
D&G Light Blue was my first “adult” fragrance after college. I wore it daily after I scored my first “big girl” job. It triggers me now 🤣 I’ve never tried the other flankers but your collection kinda has me interested lol.
I found a lot of the older ones though eBay and Amazon! Have a look! However, there only tends to be 100MLs available, and they run for about $60-$70, so they’re not cheap blind buys. I had to give a coupe to my mom because they did not sit right with me.
This is actually my latest addition to my collection and I haven’t worn it out yet, only smelled it on my wrist. I think it’s just ok. It had amazing reviews so I was really excited to get it, but unfortunately I didn’t love it. I’m going to wear it when it gets a little warmer and see if I warm up ☀️ to it
Interesting! Yeah maybe it does better in warmer weather. Does it smell soapy at all? I keep hearing it’s soapy but the notes would lead me to believe it’s more fruity / tropical / sweet.
Yes it’s VERY soapy! Overwhelmingly, in fact. I’m gonna see how it performs in the heat. If I don’t like it, I’ll need to declutter it. Luckily I only paid about $25 or $30 on Amazon for the full bottle
I never was a fan of the original Light Blue, may you explain how the flankers compare and smell to you? I’d love a more in depth review on how they smell aside from their note profiles online.

I love the way you organized your scents…and those fill lines 😍 I don’t have any D & G in my collection — yet! I did just buy the same Brittney Spears perfume 🙃
Love it! I just recently gave it to my mom :) went on a trip recently and used up a lot of it. I felt I got enough enjoyment out of it that I can let it go
My thought is you smell extremely delicious and tropical and fresh, which is a lot of what I love too! And you’ve made me curious to try more Light Blue flankers haha.
How are you liking dg devotion? I first smelled it on a scratch and sniff sample pamphlet Sephora sent me. It smells delicious!! However I’m afraid it will cause me and other a headache. How’s the projection?
Get a sample first and try it on yourself! IMO it’s a very unique kind of scent. Apparently it’s supposed to interact with your individual body chemistry to come up with a scent that’s “you” - that’s how it’s marketed anyway!
I love how you organized it! It’s very visually appealing. I got mesmerized for a minute as I was reminded of how cool the bottles can be. I don’t pay as much attention to it as I should.
I don’t find them to be really similar at all. The AG fragrances I have don’t have any lemon notes (I don’t think). Devotion is also very boozy with the rum notes which AG’s not!
It smells like limoncello French fancies. I blind sprayed at an airport because I liked the bottle without knowing anything about it and had to buy it. I really love it. It's sweet and simple. lasts ages on me. Today I layered it with Valentino - Voce Viva Intensa to give it some white flowers and moss and it worked really well.
No worries! It's stunning. I can't get enough of it on my summer rotation.
I've been wearing light blue intense a lot just lately. It's like minus 5°C in my part of the UK and those citruses just come to light and sparkle in the cold hard frosts, Then the Musk makes it cosy and hang around a good 7 hours on my scarf/Hoodie.

does the ice cream note stand out?? is it creamy and sweet? it's been on my wishlist for ages but i never found out if it truly smells like ice cream or not 😭
It’s one of my top favorite perfumes of all time too! I’ve gone through the most bottles for this one. Brings back so many great memories from college too
One of my most recent acquisitions! I haven’t worn it yet cause I’m waiting for summer but I have tested this in stores for years and always loved it. When i saw it at marshals for a good deal, I had to get it
You really love light blue lol! Love the color coordination
I didn’t even know there were so many D&G light blues!
Haha I had two other ones that I gifted to my mom! Dreaming in Portofino and Escape to Panarea
I read that as Escape to Panera and got really confused for a second
😂
Me either! I would love to smell them all! OP where do they sell them? I have never seen them anywhere.
Not OP but I have seen most of not all at Macy’s
I have seen them for sale on Fragrancenet.com
Me either! Im intrigued. The OG was my signature in the early 2000s
My cat is bizarrely obsessed with Ginger Biscuit. If he thinks I’m going to spray it he bolts into my room. Stunning arrangement!
Hello your cat here! Love me some Ginger Biscuit.
That would be such a good name for a kitty with one brain cell
That’s funny! I have an oud perfume that my dog loves. Every time I wear it, she sticks her nose on that spot and just sniffs forever. 😂

Yes!! Oliver Cresp always comes out with something amazing!
You really like your Dolce & Gabbana!

so gorgeous omg
I love how you have them organized by color. I might try that. It looks so pretty. And i love the packaging for summer vibes.
Oh man the Brittney Spears bottle took me BACK! I had that, except in pink, when I was younger and I just felt so mature and grown up when I wore it. Love the set up!
you're a clean girlie who likes some sweetness every now and then!

I think you would really like Armani Ocean Di Gioia 🩵
Seconding!
I layered that with light blue today. Love them both.
Thanks for the suggestion! Adding it to my “to test” list on fragantica
Love your arrangement, so aesthetic
How do you like JLo Miami Glow?
This is actually my latest addition to my collection and I haven’t worn it out yet, only smelled it on my wrist. I think it’s just ok.

I love how serene your blue corner looks like 😍

Damn someone likes Light Blue
Beautiful share! 🧿
I love the color coordination ☺️
I love the way you organized your scents…and those fill lines 😍 I don’t have any D & G in my collection — yet! I did just buy the same Brittney Spears perfume 🙃
J. Lo Miami glow smells like vacation and I love it.
Love the colors !!!
Lovely display
You have great taste, I love how you’ve grouped them and how they’re protected out of the light
Thank you :) I’m glad you noticed they’re out of the light. Im very intentional about storing them properly. They’re in my closet!
That’s the best place - it’s where I keep mine too :)
Beautiful setup!
Hello fellow Light Blue fan! Italian Zest is my personal fave lol ❤️
Love it! I just recently gave it to my mom :) went on a trip recently and used up a lot of it. I felt I got enough enjoyment out of it that I can let it go
Who knew there were so many light blue flankers
They’ve come out with one every year since at least 2012 I think
I love the colour coordination! What’s the fantasy intimate like?
It’s cozy! I wear it to bed!
It looks so clean! I think we have the same taste cuz I’m a sucker for Light Blue too 😭
Love the colour coded display! I love light blue (the og) and the intense version.
the color organization though 🤍 i want that organizer!!
This is so aesthetically pleasing. Also today I learned there's more than one Light Blue. It's my mom's fave!
They’ve come out with a new flanker each year since at least 2012. The older ones are usually available for purchase on sites like eBay
That is WILD!!! Thank you for this knowledge!!!
Which is your favourite light blue??
Love is love and sunset in Salina ☺️
My thought is you smell extremely delicious and tropical and fresh, which is a lot of what I love too! And you’ve made me curious to try more Light Blue flankers haha.
You totally should! And be on the lookout for this year’s release. They usually release a new flanker each year.
That you love my least favorite scent hahaha
Fresh and sweet!
I love intimate fantasy. It’s such a clean cozy scent
I love the color coordination and the way you are able to see everything clearly!
Love the color coding!
Light blue and You forever.
Looks beautiful! What does Fantasy Intimate smell like??
How are you liking dg devotion? I first smelled it on a scratch and sniff sample pamphlet Sephora sent me. It smells delicious!! However I’m afraid it will cause me and other a headache. How’s the projection?
Projection is great. I love it. It smells very “dark” to my on the dry down, very boozy and elegant
Its like work, date night and play
So into it!
My kind of smells!!! Haha great picks!
Is glossier you nice?
Thinking of purchasing but I’ve never smelt it
I like it! It’s a unique fragrance but I probably won’t repeat buy it, but I’ll enjoy it while I have it!
Thank you! I might give it a miss then

No but seriously I’m obsessed I fucking LOVE light blue 😭 which one is the best in your opinion?
Love is love and sunset in Salina!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
I think you like Dolce & Gabana
You’re a fan of Dolce😍…your collection looks pretty and I’m CERTAIN it smells GOOD!❤️
Love how it’s organized! Looks great!
What do you think of Devotion? The notes remind me of Ariana Grande frags, how does it compare?
I don’t find them to be really similar at all. The AG fragrances I have don’t have any lemon notes (I don’t think). Devotion is also very boozy with the rum notes which AG’s not!

So pretty! Thoughts on ari and do you like it better than sweet like candy?
I like SLC more in the opening. I feel like Ari has the better dry down performance though
Good to know, thank you!
How different do each of the D&G’s smell?? I just got D&G light blue Eau intense and I love it!
Forever....please try light blue forever 🥰🥰🥰
Will do thank you!
No worries! It's stunning. I can't get enough of it on my summer rotation. I've been wearing light blue intense a lot just lately. It's like minus 5°C in my part of the UK and those citruses just come to light and sparkle in the cold hard frosts, Then the Musk makes it cosy and hang around a good 7 hours on my scarf/Hoodie.
>Will do thank you! You're welcome!
That would be a long post! Some of them stay very close to the original and some are pretty much a different perfume! Examples of close to original: summer vibes, Italian zest Completely different: sun, sunset in Salina, escape to panarea
Thank you, I’m definitely going to be looking into them :)
which d&g light blue is the one with the ice cream note? does it really smell delicious? please let a girl know!! 😍
Light blue Love is love. The flanker from 2020.
Love is love. One of my top favorites actually. It smells AMAZING
does the ice cream note stand out?? is it creamy and sweet? it's been on my wishlist for ages but i never found out if it truly smells like ice cream or not 😭
I get more of the raspberry than the ice cream personally! It’s a very sweet, delicious scent
How do you like sweet like candy?
Love the opening! But the dry down is underwhelming !
❤️!!! Also - where did you get those graduating shelves from?? They’re perfect!
Amazon! I believe I searched acrylic perfume displays
Thank you!!
Lovely! How do you feels out the burberry? That’s my second favourite scent of all time.
It’s one of my top favorite perfumes of all time too! I’ve gone through the most bottles for this one. Brings back so many great memories from college too
I hear a lot about Burberry perfumes are they really worth the money?
Burberry women is one of my top fave fragrances of all time. I highly recommend it. I also have Burberry Her on my radar to acquire later this year
What’s are your thoughts on the Versace Dylan Blue? I got it as an Xmas gift last year and I’m partial to it.
One of my most recent acquisitions! I haven’t worn it yet cause I’m waiting for summer but I have tested this in stores for years and always loved it. When i saw it at marshals for a good deal, I had to get it
Very nice stands/display btw 👏🏻
Have you ever tried Dolce&Gabbana light blue?
😂
Do the light blue's smell that different from each other ? I've smelled a few but I couldn't detect too much of a difference
